> A function with doc string and interactive spec:
>
> (defun hello ()
>   "my function"
>   (interactive)
>   (message "hello"))
>
> Then:
>
> (byte-compile 'hello)
>
> results in the doc string being lost.
> This probably happens in byte-compile--reify-function where the doc string and 
> interactive spec are swapped around.
>
> Shouldn't that function also deal with :documentation? What about declare forms?

> No, :documentation and declare forms are dealt with during macro-expansion.
